Singles That Mingle

With Captain Stavros

 

Midori Jaeger – Planted

(Re) planted Out August 26

A curious tune that feels like it’s finding its way through you poking and prodding along, rather than the other way around.

 

Sibille Attar – Slow Down

Out Now Via PNKSLM Records

So we did slow down, and you should to.

Force Mejeure & Acts of God Out September 4 Via Hassle

Seems like it’s a blast to a bygone era, then hooks.

 

Holy Wave – Dewey’s Dirge

I’m DADA Out July 10 Via Suicide Squeeze

I wonder if this track is like explaining to someone how your heroin trip is going.

 

Desire – Summer Skin

Physical Out Eventually Via Italians Do It Better

Splash out on this bad-boy.

 

Danielle Ponder - The Power

I cannot believe how much they crammed into over a minute, oozing drip. This one is a list topper.

Nix Moon release their new single ‘Ceremony’ today. It is a song that they have been playing live for some time and holds special meaning for them. The song is taken from their debut album, which they plan to release later this year.

We’re big fans of the band here and have been since first seeing them live at Vantastival 2016. They were so good that we went to see them again later that day. If you’re a fan of The Doors and the Grateful Dead, you’ll love ‘Ceremony’. The psychedelic guitars provide  backing for the dulcet harmonies from Joycey and Fahy.

The song was recorded at the world renowned Grouse Lodge Studios, Co. Westmeath. The band previously won a session at the studio at Firestone’s Battle of the Bands Competition in 2017, as well as a headlining slot at Vantastival that year.

Nix Moon combine complex rhythms and genuine lyrics that merge progressive rock, jazz, reggae and folk. Their own closest description is “prog rock flirting with untamed psychedelic tendencies and Eastern influences”. Thankfully, ‘Ceremony’ is easier to listen o than it is to understand.

They are the quintessential festival band; baggy trousers, flowing hair and beards, and a barefoot, world-travelling, bongo player. Trying to capture the sound and feeling of Nix Moon in a studio setting is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle, but they have given it a good go here.
